[The 'or' category; alright, so, probably not a professional profiler or psychologist. Maybe retired, but he doubts it, so possibly some other kind of consultant that could range anything from scientist to artist, even to a psychic. He wonders how Maketh had gotten the impression; had she misconstrued, or had Will told her something different?

And okay, he probably should've seen that jab coming; he doesn't acknowledge it directly, but takes it as a sign to draw back a little. It'd natural for some people to be suspicious of doctors of any sort, let alone psychologists, and not really knowing Will yet this isn't a situation in which pushing comfort zones would be helpful. Probably the opposite.

So instead of asking any more questions just yet, he focuses on just responding to what Will said.]

If they really are feeding on our emotions, then telling us that story about how and why we're here is probably very useful to them.

[At least to some of them, anyway.]
